The "extreme persecution" that Christians experience in 10 of the absolute 12 worst nations comes from "Islamic oppression" or is occurring in Muslim majority nations. These include: Afghanistan (#2), Somalia (#3), Libya (#4), Pakistan (#5), Yemen (#7), Iran (#8), Nigeria (#9), Iraq (#11), and Syria (#12).
"80% of Indian Christians helped by Open Doors say they were passed over for food distribution during the COVID-19 pandemic." — Open Doors, World Watch List.
Considering that for the first time in over a decade, China has made it among the top 20 persecutors in the Open Doors World Watch List — up to #17 from #23 last year — this does not bode well for Christians, who are already "intensely monitored by the state."
Similarly, in Turkey, which rose to #25 from #36 last year, every citizen's "religious affiliation is recorded on the electronic chip of identity cards, making it easy to discriminate against Christians." — Open Doors, World Watch List.
"More Christians are murdered for their faith in Nigeria than in any other country." — Open Doors, World Watch List.
